In addtition to what @jseals has already said. I think the org.apache.commons.lang.time.DateUtils class is probably what you should be looking at.

It's method : truncate(Date date,int field) worked very well for me.

JavaDocs : https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/javadocs/api-2.6/org/apache/commons/lang/time/DateUtils.html#truncate(java.util.Date, int)

Since you needed to truncate all the time fields you can use :

DateUtils.truncate(new Date(),Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)
